How long are you folks waiting before giving up? The reason I ask is that I had this, so I alt-tabbed and left it running whilst I searched to see if anyone had come up with a fix. A full 10 minutes or so later, I noticed the background screen change - and found I had gotten past that screen and was now at the character select. Since then, it's loaded normally, so it looks like, for me, at least, the problem wasn't a complete freeze, it was just loading EXTREMELY slowly.
I'm having the same problem. It loads past the "CRYPTIC" logo onto the Neverwinter splash screen and then freezes. It shows "Material Files Reloaded" in the far lower-left of the screen.
I can't even get the launcher to the point where it will *patch* the game to start with! Somehow it keeps losing the connection to the server (not from my end, I've checked my internet) and I can't get to the point to even show the patch size, much less get it to try to download.
I hold out no hope for the game to launch tonight for me, as it's been at least a half hour or longer waiting for the launcher to get anywhere. Oh yeah, I can't get Gateway to load anywhere. Not on Safari, Firefox or even *shudder* IE.
The patch today has caused a great many of us not to be able to load the game. We can log in but the game doesn't load. There is already a 19 page thread on this issue. The work around suggested in that patch doesn't seem to work for most of us. So until they figure out what they broke and fix it, many of us aren't going to be able to play because the game does not load.
post-mod 6 has been nothing but bugs/issues/problems. Can't even play..
Same here as well, perhaps its an intended snafu. But I will leave that to the conspiracy theorists of TSW
running into the same problems as everyone else it seems. can't launch through Arc or any other means. Sometimes get a game client error and sometimes some 3D driver error. I was able to get in briefly this afternoon around 1pm...but was running into sound problems and lots of rubber banding.
If a Dev is reading this...please fix, I am getting the shakes from lack of game play.
I've got the same trouble trying to log in. It patched when I initially logged in and got as far as where the Neverwinter screen is and then I get a client not responding error. The swordcoast is also currently down although it was up yesterday for me.

Yea it's been like this all day I can't get past the Neverwinter log-in screen.
Just to make sure im having the same thing as discussed here, my game goes thru the loading screens to the D and G logo and then just minimizes to the task bar. I have to close it thru task manager. That what we're talking about here? happened tonite right after the small patch after mod 6, played yes
terday after the dxg crash fixed itself. so I should just leave it in the taskbar and wait?
I have been having the same problems, reloaded the game, and still had the same issues. Like a previous poster, I decided to be patient and left it to load - it took about 5 minutes, and now all seems normal. character selection screen with "your video settings are reset to a default" message.
To me it's the same but got bored of looking solution, and leave it hanging for 30-40 minutes when observed, was already in the game .....
So the solution is to wait a long time to advance XD
I can log in and launch the game, then I just get the initial cryptic logo (black screen with "cryptic" in big white letters) for about 2 minutes before it crashes giving me the message "fatal error. unable to initialize on-demand patching and connect to patch server. the connection was idle for too long." then the cryptic error handler opens. It's been doing this since I first tried logging in around 2pm this afternoon, and still happening now at 11:30pm.

Same problem. Says GameClient.exe is not responding. I looked for a way to run a repair on it, but couldn't find one (like WoW has haha). Was able to play last night, patched today (300-something MB), and now won't load past the Neverwinter page.

same............

Means i shouldn't have to do anything but sit back and wait for the fix.
It has nothing to do with your application, once they have a fix,
we will more then likely get a new patch to correct this.
I wouldn't get to worried or stressed over it. With the amount of people
reporting issue, they will address as fast as they can.
